Don’t you dare think that painting a room blue will make you blue. Its really about the gray, but that is for another post. This one is all about our recent blend of blue rooms. Our client wanted to have 3 rooms transition nicely, but it is important that they each have their own impact. The front room we left with a neutral backdrop with accents of ice blue throughout, so as you walk in it is a fresh introduction.
It welcomes you and tells you..there is more.
The office was so much fun! I have preached it over and over and I will say it again…
Be Bold With Small Spaces
The family room/T.V room boasts a dramatic deep color of blue. Even though this room has its lighting problems (Not much natural light) we went for it and it can handle it with its high ceilings. A dark room is a dark room, a small room is a small room..unless you are changing the structure..it is what it tis, so do what you want and have fun. Just don’t forget the balance. Darker rooms need white or cream to keep it fresh.
Hope you enjoy~

I love a reason to head to LA and this is a great one. I am amazed at these events and forums and ahem..yes..cocktail hours lined up for the 2011 Legends of La Cienega, I can hardly stay seated. If design inspiration, celebrity designers, and window shopping are all hearts on your list of hobbies then you will want to grab a room and enjoy the whole weekend and whats in…store.
This event is going to be so much fun. How amazing to walk the streets and see so much talent! Unfortunately, I will be out of town, but please…please…let me know if you attend!
Celebrte Art is an opportunity to showcase the talent of some of our community’s leading designers in LCDQ member windows. -Legends of La Cienega 2011
Oh Yeah…And they will have gourmet food trucks. Yummy
